The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 299 - 300: Leaving Home

Nanny Guo was a stern person, so Li Si didn’t dare approach to ask.

Hailan was also a calm person, and Li Si usually didn’t talk much with her, so in the end, he could only lean beside Shanmoi.

"What’s going on exactly? Wasn’t it said that something happened to the young lady? Someone’s already been sent to fetch the doctor, so why are you all out here? Is Madam alright alone in the room?" Li Si followed, sweat dripping from his anxiousness.

Madam was the Marquis’s treasure, and if anything happened, none of them could afford to be held accountable. Besides, how could Madam suddenly fall ill out of nowhere!

Looking at these people, why did they all come out looking so heavy-hearted? Could it be that she’s not ill after all?

Shanmoi kept wiping her tears, and Li Si felt distressed seeing this, "Something has happened to Madam now, and if something happens to you here, who will take care of Madam? If there’s anything, let me know, and I’ll try to figure something out."

Seeing Shanmoi glaring at him with red eyes, Li Si hurriedly explained, "I’ve already sent someone to inform the Marquis. He will definitely come back once he gets the message." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Only then did Shanmoi retract her gaze, continuing to wipe her tears without responding to him. Li Si, at a loss, turned again to Hailan.

Hailan did tell him, "Madam doesn’t know what’s wrong either, but she’s fine now. She said she wanted some quiet time alone. There’s no need to fetch the doctor. Perhaps you should check on where the person sent to inform the Marquis is and call him back."

"How can that be? Something’s happened to Madam, how can the Marquis not know?" Li Si disagreed.

Hailan thought for a moment but said nothing further.

Nanny Guo, however, sighed, "It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have said those things to the young lady. Now she’s ended up like this."

Shanmoi and Hailan trusted Nanny Guo, so they didn’t ask what Nanny Guo said to the young lady. They knew that if it were something they should know, Nanny Guo would have said it already.

"You don’t need to feel guilty, nanny. The young lady is fine now. She’ll probably be okay after a while." Hailan comforted.

Shanmoi also came to comfort her, but Nanny Guo just sighed, waved her hand, and turned to Li Si, "It’s right to let the Marquis come back. I see the young lady’s emotions aren’t quite right."

She then told Shanmoi and Hailan, "I’ll go inside to take a look; you both keep watch outside."

What on earth has happened to the young lady? Nanny Guo couldn’t make sense of it, so naturally, she felt uneasy.

Leaving the young lady alone in the room made Hailan and Shanmoi uneasy, too. Hearing what Nanny Guo said, the two of them nodded, only then did Nanny Guo push the door open and go in.

Li Si, however, felt unsettled. The Marquis had left happily this morning, with a smile on his face, and everyone in the residence saw it. How could Madam have met with mishap so suddenly, in such a short time?

Inside the room, Lin Youning sat quietly on the couch, lost in thought. Nanny Guo approached her, "Miss, don’t scare me like this. What on earth happened? Did what I said remind you of something?"

Lin Youning raised her head, managing a strained smile, but it looked more like a grimace, "Nanny, I’m fine, just suddenly missing my brother and sister-in-law. I want to pack up and go outside the city to see them. The Eldest Prince is rarely at the residence; he probably won’t notice if I leave."

Nanny Guo, unable to find out more, could only sigh inwardly, "Since you want to see the family, I’ll have someone prepare the carriage now."

Lin Youning nodded and instructed, "I want to stay there for a few days. Have Shanmoi and the others pack a few things too."

Nanny Guo was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat uneasy but couldn’t figure out why.

The young lady in low spirits was supposed to stay within the residence, but now she said she wanted to go elsewhere for a few days. It gave Nanny Guo the impression she was avoiding the Marquis. Could it be that the things she just mentioned didn’t move the young lady but instead made her unable to accept them?

Or had she misunderstood, and the young lady’s feelings towards the Marquis were not romantic but simply sibling affection?

Nanny Guo dared not think deeper into it. After stepping out, she instructed Shanmoi and Hailan to pack, informing them of the young lady’s plan to go to the family’s place. The two of them, without more to say, hurried into the house to pack.

Seeing preparations for departure, Li Si got anxious, "Nanny, it’s better to wait for the Marquis to return before leaving. Otherwise, Madam’s sudden departure will leave him worried."

"The young lady is in a bad mood now. We’ll escort her out of the city first. Once the Marquis returns, just inform him." Nanny Guo couldn’t afford to think further.

Li Si, after hearing Nanny Guo’s decision, had no choice but to agree, rushing to instruct the guards in the residence to ensure the Madam’s safety.

Lin Youning took the carriage and left. She had no idea what kind of mood would allow her to stay here. She hated Gu Er for the humiliation and miserable life he brought upon her, yet discovering her own brother’s involvement was a truth she couldn’t bear, leaving her wanting to hide away.

The carriage was quiet, quieter than Shanmoi had ever felt before. She could sense the young lady’s heavy heart but dared not speak.

She knew instinctively that if she spoke, the young lady would be furious.

An hour later, Zhao Housheng, surprised by his sister’s sudden arrival, quickly approached her, "Did something happen?"

Seeing his sister’s poor complexion, Zhao Housheng’s own expression darkened, "Did the Eldest Prince do something?"

Lin Youning clearly saw the flash of hatred in her brother’s eyes when he mentioned the Eldest Prince.

"No, I just missed you, big brother. So I thought I’d come by since I was bored at the residence." Lin Youning pulled herself together, "Where’s Sister Ling? Sister-in-law is inside too, right?"

Liang Hui and Sister Ling, who were already aware of the commotion, emerged, with Sister Ling running up to Lin Youning, grasping her hand and affectionately calling her aunt, while expressing how much she missed her.

Lin Youning’s heavy heartlightened considerably at Sister Ning’s smile. She reminded herself that it wasn’t too late; at least in this life, she still had family, her blood relatives.

Liang Hui understood her husband’s concerns from his look and smiled, "Let’s go inside and talk; it’s cold out here. You, with your frail health, might catch a cold, which could last for weeks."

Zhao Housheng, seeing his wife leading his sister inside, came back to his senses and began inquiring with Nanny Guo and the others.
